I will be returning to Bed Bath and Beyond for my fourth replacement. Thank goodness I bought it at a store with a super return policy. All irons began leaking (as many have described) the latest iron has started leaking and the water fill cover has broken.

Comment:
I was so happy to have purchased what I thought was the best iron on the market. It irons ok-not great- and I am constantly refilling it because so much steam comes out that it goes through the ironing board and I end up with puddles of water on the floor when I'm finished. I think I will return it if I can find the receipt. By the way, it's made in Germany so I thought it would really be super.

All Rowenta irons leak!
10/27/2012
Strength
Irons well, too bad it leaks all the time, cant use steam function.
Weakness
It leaks, leaks and leaks. Cant use steam function.
This is my third Rowenta and my last. They all leak; they will leak as soon as the warranty runs out. Will never, ever, ever buy another Rowenta product as long as I am alive! A once trusted company that is no longer to be trusted. Their consumer department is even worse than the iron, no use calling them for support of any kind. I am actually finally writing a letter to their executive board to tell them how bad their products have become.
